Derek Carr world tour thread (updated with combine visits) (1 Viewer)

Based on this wonderful tidbit of anonymous information, signing Carr will be between us and Tampa Bay...,

“Carr wasn’t tough enough to hang in the pocket or play well in cold weather,” Tafur said, quoting the recent leak from an anonymous source. “And he certainly missed some throws this season.”To be fair, Carr does not have the greatest track record in cold games, especially ones below 37 degrees where he is 0-7 in his career. He also threw nine interceptions and only six touchdowns in those games.

& TB is $57 million over the salary cap...

The smear campaign coming out about him has been crazy.

How was none of this a problem before this season?

I don’t know if he’s a great QB. But I do know he played pretty well and teammates seemed to love him. And then McDaniels showed up.

One thing changed there. And I’m guessing it wasn’t him.

It’s been the Raiders playbook for a while. Blame everyone else except how the organization is set up to fail.

He's never been a FA so he is going to make the rounds. Thats why he said "No" to the trade. He wants to be woo'd and wow'd.

You needed a Rick Flair “Wooo” after that.

The others have more money and the Jets have a pretty good D. All we have is Carr's relationship with Allen.

The others have more 2023 hard cap dollars available on the books at this current moment...they don't necessarily have more money.

 

[No2DC]

Because we have Pete Freaking Carmichael.

PFC, PFC, PFC!

I agree it is a smear campaign but "Carr does not have the greatest track record in cold games, especially ones below 37 degrees where he is 0-7 in his career."

I still think it will come down to us & Tampa.
I'm hoping it is "us".

Yep…we are talking about the same HC that essentially got run out of town in Denver with a similar reputation there for butting heads with players.

Same.

Btw, this guy started off 2-6 in cold weather games. I’d say he turned out okay.

Just the facts: Brees is better at home

If the forecast is accurate, the weather will be shivering cold when Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints look across the field at the Eagles on Saturday night. The colder the better is the prevailing opinion around here.

That would be good.

I was also listening to Sirius NFL radio and Move the Chains. Kirwan (former Jets FO guy) and Miller were talking about the Jets.

They made it sound like the Jets’ wouldn’t be appealing and the Jets would have to overpay for someone like Carr because it’s not a good situation there.

So why would we better destination than the Panthers or Jets?

This may be the one instance where DA helps us because DC knows and respects DA . I also get from watching DC's interviews that he wants a FO committed to winning, and we have been that. Also, I think we wants to be really wanted. We have shown that we were willing to trade for him. The jets 1st priority seems to be to get Rodgers
